Calling PowerPac Functions using RobotStudio SDK?

Does anyone know if it is possible to call PowerPac functions using the RobotStudio SDK?  I am wanting to set up a custom AddIn for RobotStudio that calls particular functions from the Machining PowerPac (e.g. the Solution Wizard), so that I can automate parts of the path generation process for a end user.  I could use an external macro to do this, but would love to be able to wrap it all up in C# and the AddIn if I could.  I have added the MachiningPP dll as a reference to my AddIn project and can see a bunch of classes etc. inside this dll, but without any documentation I'm a little bit blind.

  • Hi shrud,
     
    in general the PowerPacs does not have an API. For Painting PowerPac we are working on an API to access the path generation functions. This is not yet released.
